The Split Stake Account flow allows you to break the balance of a given stake account up into two separate accounts. This way, you are able to partially unbond your SOL rather than needing to unbond the full balance of the stake account.

To break the balance of a stake account up into two separate accounts, you will need:

  • The existing stake account from which partial SOL balance will be split
  • The pubkey of the wallet which will pay the transaction fee
  • The amount of SOL tokens you want to unbond

In the following guide we will illustrate how to split a stake account.

Create New Split Stake Account Flow

To initiate the split stake account process with Staking API, create a new flow with a POST request to /flows.

URL

https://api.figment.io/flows

Request

  • protocol* : string Protocol on which this flow operates (ex. solana).
  • network* : string Network on which this flow operates (ex. testnet).
  • operation* : string The operation to perform (ex. split_stake_account).
{
  "protocol": "solana",
  "network": "devnet",
  "operation": "split_stake_account"
}

Response

  • id : string ID of the flow.
  • operation : string The Staking API operation being performed by this flow.
  • state : string The current state of the flow.
  • actions : array It includes the name & inputs of all next possible actions.
    • create_split_tx : Use this Action to create a split stake account transaction.
      • funding_account_pubkey : The public key of the wallet which will pay the transaction fee.
      • source_stake_account_pubkey : The existing stake account from which partial SOL balance will be split.
      • amount : The amount of SOL to be transferred to a newly created stake account. This field should be in full SOL, not in lamports (ie. if you want to transfer 5 SOL, return "amount": 5.0). The Staking API will translate the amount to lamports so you do not have to worry about the conversion factor. Lamports are fractional SOLs.
  • data : object Flow & transaction data.

Submit Split Stake Account Data

After collecting the required inputs, send a PUT request to /flows/[:flow_id]/next to proceed to the next step.

URL

https://api.figment.io/flows/[:flow_id]/next

Request

  • name* : create_split_tx
  • inputs : object
    • funding_account_pubkey* : string The public key of the wallet which will pay the transaction fee.
    • source_stake_account_pubkey* : string The existing stake account from which partial SOL balance will be split.
    • amount* : number The amount of SOL to be transferred to the new stake account. This field should be in full SOL, not in lamports (ie. if you want to fund the new stake account with 5 SOL, return "amount": 5.0). The Staking API will translate the amount to lamports so you do not have to worry about the conversion factor. Lamports are fractional SOLs.

Submit Signed Split Stake Account Transaction for Broadcast

Before broadcasting the transaction, you must sign the transaction_payload you received in the previous step. After signing the transaction, send a PUT request to /flows/[:flow_id]/next and the Staking API will broadcast the transaction to the network.

🚧

The transaction signing window on Solana is sometimes less than 90 seconds.

If you encounter an error "Transaction simulation failed: Blockhash not found", refresh the transaction, sign the newly created payload and submit it in < 90 seconds.

Request

  • name* : sign_split_tx
  • inputs* : object
    • transaction_payload* : Signed transaction payload from the previous step's response.
    • signatures : array of object The signatures array can be used instead of sending a transaction payload when the signing keys are kept in a custodial solution, such as Fireblocks. Refer to the guide Signing Transactions with the Fireblocks API for details.
